| Alert Log
The Alert Log is a log of problems detected by the switch since the log was last cleared. Tips on using this window: Use the Alert Log with the Alert LED on the Front Panel view. When the switch detects a problem, the Alert LED turns amber. The Alert LED stays amber until the Alert Log is cleared. Use the Alert Log with the Diagnostics window. From this window, you can generate a diagnostics report to solve problems detected by the switch. Click Clear Log to acknowledge that you have read the alerts and to turn off the amber Alert LED. The log must be manually cleared. The Clear Log button does not solve the problem. Solving the problems does not alone turn off the Alert LED. You must also click the Clear Log button. Click the column headings to sort information. Click Refresh on the toolbar to update the information. The information on this window is automatically updated at each system refresh (every 60 seconds).
